Reset to HTTP

[JimInNeavitt]

I made another newbie mistake. I set the HTTP -> HTTPS redirect checkbox on, without having set up any certificates first. After I did that, I can no longer access the GUI client. It also appears that I can't access the machine via SSH. I assume I must have forgotten to set something in the GUI to enable SSH prior to me making the other mistake. Is there a file or way to change the configuration back so it accepts HTTP via the command line?
Thanks,
Jim

From the console shell, try midclt call system.general.update "ui_httpsredirect":false.

Samuel,
I get an error when running this: "A dict was expected". I am enclosing a picture of the traceback.
Thanks,
Jim

Yeah, looks like you'll have to reinstall.

without having set up any certificates first.

The system should have a default certificate. It would give you errors, naturally, as it isn't a trusted cert, but you should still be able to access the web GUI. What happens when you try?

Any luck with this?

Assuming the default cert is still there, try from the console shell: curl --basic -u root -k -X PUT "https://<your FreeNAS IP>/api/v2.0/system/general" -H "accept: */*" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ui_httpsredirect":false}' .

Ok, the curl command fixed it. I did reboot after running the command as it didn't seem to work at first, but after the reboot, I can get in now via HTTP.

When I try to get in through HTTPS, I get these errors:
In Firefox, I get the following:
SSL received an unexpected Application Data record. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_UNEXPECTED_APPLICATION_DATA

In both chrome and Edge, I get the following:
The connection for this site is not secure
192.168.0.77 sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I will check out the information for getting https to work, but will use http in the mean time. Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Jim

It's always good if you can use a trusted cert. I have some information on that:

Integrating Let’s Encrypt TLS Certificates with FreeNAS FreeNAS has long had the ability to use HTTPS for the web GUI, but that has usually meant dealing with self-signed certificates and the associated headaches, or paying for a commercial...

Finally this works for me:

sudo curl --basic -u root -k -X PUT "https://<Your TrueNAS IP/api/v2.0/system/general" -H "accept: */*" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ui_httpsredirect":false}'

and Reboot the unit
